In successive weeks we’ve now lost two former tournament winners, with Gooner dave biting the dust this time after losing 69 – 63 to DaFoe22. There was better luck for Jonty and Ninja_Fit_Saints, who progressed at the expense of Duggans Dreamteam (91 – 50) and 369 mofo (74 – 66) respectively.
Also heading into the third round is Mark, who came out on top in an epic 89 – 87 match with McEwan. He’s now the last remaining Scout after greek fan succumbed 79 – 76 to mvtaylor.
Round One’s top dog, Gulikgul, couldn’t recreate any of the magic from last week, as he crashed out embarrassingly 82 – 41 to Gorby. That was the seventh-worst score of the round, and even if he could captain his entire team he would’ve still been knocked out.
It was left then to elfortu to earn the top score this week, with an incredible 112 – thrashing chemikills (60) as a result. He was one of four fantasy managers notching a ton this week, along with theonefjef (107), This is hard 1 (107) and The Yassasinators (101) also reached the milestone.
Also through this week is bobbyg, who went into the second round as the highest-ranked fantasy manager in the competition and lived up to his billing as one of the early favourites. The now 50th in the world team ran out 76 – 70 winners against huma.
Congratulations to everyone making it through to the next stage, and commiserations to those exiting the competition at this moment.
The draw for the third round will be made and published on Thursday.
